TUALATIN — The Trail Blazers took a chance on a sharpshooting guard from a mid-major college with their first pick of the 2012 NBA Draft.

Will they do so again this summer?

Legigh's C.J. McCollum — who, like Blazers point guard Damian Lillard, has a mid-major college background — participated in a solo predraft workout for the team Monday morning at the practice facility in Tualatin.

McCollum, who is a first-round target by the Blazers according to some draft gurus, averaged 23.9 points per game last season as a senior before suffering a broken bone in his left foot during his 12th game. McCollum missed the rest of the season, but his skill-set is so polished and his scoring ability so dynamic, he still is considered a sure-fire lottery prospect.
